It's Saturday!!!

No it's not. It's fucking Sunday. And I have to go to work in 30 fucking hours.

It was actually Saturday when I tried to sign up but this works out too.
With that said...

WELCOME TO THE BEST GODDAMNED BLOG EVA'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This here is our start up entry - the gOOd times and not as gOOd times had by the HoChies in the month of October so far.

October 4: 

a birthday of one of the HoChies. It was a good day despite turning quarter of a century old but let's not talk about it. Presento-pyos galore including a wacom. More on the wacom later.

October 5-6: 

not so good times...Work. You know how it is.

October 7: 

the best band in the world. It's U2 for you people who for some reason are insane and do not know that. "Crumbs from Your Table" was played for us (it's only been done twice in concert you know)...Screw you other people. We're special....
The not so good times that night - a three hour commute back home after the concert. Not fun times. Not at all.

First, the band that opened for U2 and sounded great -

October 14: 

On an island in the sun, we were playing and having fun...Did you hear us?
The way it really happened - we left the island, it was pouring rain and had been for 7 days straight but our sore throats prove that we had fun. We were heard. I'm sure of it.

October 15: 

3,000 of them, we swear it! At least that's what 'they' said. I tried counting all those Jack O'Lanterns at the Blaze but I gave up before I counted the first. It was merely too much effort. Not to mention being that I slept for only 5 or so hours after the concert, counting pumpkins may have put me to sleep. Jumping sheep and stationary pumpkins...same difference. The highlights of the blaze - the snake display, the aquarium exhibit which was super awesome and that one pumpkin that was lazily carved with nothing but two slanted eyes. The low(?)lights of the blaze - 'they' also said we'd have pumpkin cookies and hot apple cider to look forward to at the end of the trail but all we got was herded into the gift shop. The cider ran out and the cookies were hotdogs. And we had to pay for them if we wanted as well. So now I'm thinking...if 'they' lied (lieeeeeesssss) to me about that then I suspect there may have only been 2,999 pumpkins at that damned thing.

What's coming up this week:

October 19: 

South Park, my friends. South Park

Goo'day.

Currently playing (in my head): "Helicopter" by Bloc Party
